TN - Lt. Governor Ron Ramsey says we need tighter border control

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Tennessee's second in command wants to place a moratorium on immigration for those coming from countries with terrorism ties. Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey says we need to take take a long hard look at securing our borders. This all comes on the heels of Donald Trump's statement to ban all Muslims from entering America.
Ramsey took to his Facebook page to propose his own border security plan.
Back in 2010 when Ramsey was running for governor, he was quoted as saying he thought the Muslim religion was a cult and Local 8 News didn't have to go far to find others that agree right here in East Tennessee.
LeeAnn Bailes says, "I don't believe in that religion. I believe in Jesus Christ. I don't believe in Muslims. I don't mean to offend anybody, but it's kinda like a cult."
Now on his Facebook page, Ramsey said America needs to get serious about border security and quickly.
Bailes says, "We need tighter because we don't let immigrants in with ties to terrorism."
Ramsey went on to say, "While I would not favor an explicitly religious test, I do think it is time to place a moratorium on immigration from a long list of countries with ties to terrorism."
Shane O'Hare says, "I am nervous wondering if Ireland would be off the list, and I'm from Ireland and we've had terrorists before, so do we fall into that bucket?"
Karen Horton says, "There are good peaceful Muslims. I have friends and like any group, there are extremists."
Caitlinn Petty says, "They're just humans, like we are, just trying to make it and make our lives better."
Ramsey also says it is time to seriously rethink our visa, refugee resettlement and immigration policies.
Ramsey went on to say the United States has been the most welcoming nation in history by a large margin, but nation without secure borders is no nation at all.
Local 8 News reached out to Ramsey, but did not hear a response by the time this story was published.
